Detection: Key Vault Access Policy Created or Updated

Overview

Detect when an access policy in Azure Key Vault was created or updated. Access policies define permissions for managing secrets, certificates, and keys, and changes to these policies can impact security and access control. Monitoring these updates helps prevent unauthorized access and ensures proper governance of sensitive resources.
